Sliding down

India are now three wickets down; a rather lazy looking Yuvraj is gone; and with Powar coming in at seven, I'm starting to wonder about this line up. Will Dhoni have to - gasp!- play the role of sheet anchor? This pitch has a fair amount of bounce and carry, and certainly isn't like one of those oft-disparaged subcontinental flat-trackers. India have a fight on their hands here, and this very strange looking line-up has a lot of work to show that they can beat England. (and Raina has just been caught down the leg-side; phew! 63-4...)
